Foxglove beardtongue typically grows to a height of 3 to 5 feet. The inch long flowers are white to pale pink, tubular, and two-lipped, resembling those of foxgloves, and are arranged in loose terminal clusters. The leaves are three to six inches long and one to three inches wide. They are lance-shaped, deep green, and arranged oppositely on the stem, with basal leaves forming a rosette. This perennial wildflower thrives in a variety of habitats, including prairies, fields, meadows, woodland edges, and along roadways and powerlines, preferring full sun to partial shade and well-drained soils.
